Maplins satallite help

Post by windysurfer »

Just bought a maplins portable satellite system.
I'm just trying to set it up for the fist time and have followed the instructions and get a good signal quality and intensity (90% + 70%). The picture quality is excellent BUT only on channels in German. I can seems to pick any English channels up.
Am I pointing at the wrong satallite?
I'm aiming for Astra 1 28 E

help!
